Re: TWM individual throtle bodies any good??? (PDP_HKS)
after "MTV's real life: im a street racer" these things sure are popular! But for a good cause they are popular, because they are pretty bad *** and are actually functional 
I have no clue who else makes them for H series motors, but i would not run these daily without a filter element on the end of the runners. Or else youll be sucking everything into your motor. Priced at $2100+ i would assume TWM has high quality products, you might want to post in the ITR forum and ask those guys if they have more info on the company. On another note, notice the reservoir covers... you need to go to Target and get a set of SpongeBob SquarePants ones. Its very JDM.

Toda makes them as well.. not sure if they have an application for a prelude or H series engine..increases throttle response, etc. WESURI is sellin some from a 20v corolla engine with slight modification you mite be able to make it fit as well.. not sure on that tho

Re: TWM individual throtle bodies any good??? (CoreysTypeR)
the TWMs are very good quality, and i believe that they are making them with all the vacuum lines taped in now. I had to do those myself. Don't expect to run these with a stock ecu. With a properly tunned ecu, a set of cams, and a port and polish, you can't bet these for NA power. and do you think that this is LOUD?!!?!?!??

ITBs are tops for all motor power.
But are not very streetable. They fall flat on their face before 5k rpms.
Ever seen a dyno of an ITB setup? It looks almost like exponential power.

Re: TWM individual throtle bodies any good??? (Nick M)
everyone i've come across with itb's have gone with a standalone because of tuning issues.
just doesn't seem logical to spend all that cash on an n/a set-up unless it's a race=-car.

Re: TWM individual throtle bodies any good??? (bgod)
I wonder what the power difference is between a Stock Intake Manifold with some port matching, removed IAB system and a large throttle body.
After my SMSP header I'm considering the TWM's but I dunno if they are worth the cash.

Re: TWM individual throtle bodies any good??? (HotWheelz-turboh22dx)
TPS is hooked up to one of the throttles. Map is run off of four vacuum hoses all connected to each runner. with this setup we are no longer running a MAP sensor because with this manifold there is pretty much no way it can creat vacuum like it would with a stock manifold.

Re: TWM individual throtle bodies any good??? (MrMike)
If you run the 4 vacuum hoses to a shared vacuum box you can get a stable enough vacuum to run a MAP sensor.
My mechanic had a set. I'll take pictures if it's still around. It was supposed to be for his drag car, but I don't think he's worked on his own car in over a year.
